How to Make Wedding Flower Arrangements for the Silk Bridal Bouquet

Nowadays brides like to make use of a silk bridal bouquet as part of their wedding flower arrangements. It is easier to put together silk flowers instead of using real flowers. Apart from convenience, it is more economical to put these together instead of buying real flowers. Here are easy steps to making your own bridal bouquet made out of silk flowers.

Decide on the kind of arrangement you would want done. There are eight kinds of basic arrangements, namely horizontal, vertical, triangular, crescent, oval, minimal, the S and free standing. If you want to make an arrangement for your own bouquet, it might be good to use the vertical arrangement as the flowers will be standing up. Wedding flower arrangements for the silk bridal bouquet need to be secured with something like foam to ensure that they do not unravel. The foam will serve as the flowers’ base so that they will be sticking together. Once you are done sticking and gluing them together, add some greenery that will serve as filler for the empty spaces in between the blooms. Also use some loose flowers to fill in the empty gaps between the blooms to make it more realistic looking.

Always remember that the bouquet you make must match the dress you will be wearing. If you are wearing a simple dress with not much beadwork in front, wedding flower arrangements of a vertical nature for the silk bridal bouquet would work just fine. But if you have a dress that has a lot of beadwork and lace, you might want to consider a horizontal arrangement or the arm bouquet as seen in different pageant shows. This will allow the dress to be clearly seen and appreciated.
